Disneyland Paris is mainly a place for doing, not for seeing. But this doesn't mean there are no places with a good view.
The Castle Fantasyland is the dominating feature of the Park. While the cynic will notice the stark plastic construction, the castle's fascination cannot be denied by anybody who grew up with Disney style comics. Don't forget to visit the Dragon Cave through a side entrance; the sleeping dragon is one of the best Audio-Animatronics in Disneyland.
Disney Characters
are spread liberally throughout the park. Many are available around the clock - usually the more famous characters like Mickey, Donald etc - and some are only available at certain times. Some characters move around. Care is being taken by the Disneyland administration that no character can be met twice at the same time. Inquire at any store or information outlet about the schedule of the characters. They will give autographs, and their main purpose is of course to pose for photos. If you have a favorite "must see", inquire as soon as you can on your arrival; some minor characters - like Stitch - are hard to track down. *** If you have a certain character that you absolutely must meet, then check in with CITY HALL at the entrance of the Park on TOWN SQUARE. They can help you with this information, and even organize a "Meet N Greet" with your favorite character.Throughout the day there are various Parades - some of them are quite famous. They include various Disney and non-Disney characters, are held in different parts of the Park at different times. The park map will have a listing of the schedules.

Frontierland cancelled as of July 2009 but returning Summer 2011 featured acrobatics mixed in with music from the movie. It's well done and well worth the time.Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show with Mickey and Friends

Discoveryland Replaced with Captain EO in 2010 was basically a 3D movie with "interactive" elements - and starring Eric Idle and Rick Moranis. Captain EO, a Michael Jackson 3D movie adventure now returns. This film originally played in the theatre in the 1990's when the park opened.Animagique
Walt Disney Studios park is a blacklit musical number with dancing Disney characters and pink elephants. Well done if you can appreciate this type of entertainment.CineMagique
Walt Disney Studios park - another "interactive" movie show; the theme is a trip through 100 years of movie history. Very well done, and highly recommended.Armageddon Special Effects
Walt Disney Studios park lets you experience the destruction of the space station by incoming asteroids. Probably best suited for teenagers. Avoid if very crowded.Moteurs! Action
Walt Disney Studios park A stunt car show. Rather entertaining and definitely good for some photo moments. It's next to Rock 'n' Rollercoaster Avec Aerosmith. A little bit long but worth the time.The Lion King
Discoveryland Cancelled Based on the musical and animated movie of the same name. Quite interactive and a good one for the kids. The Tam Tam Players replaced the show and performed on the stage during the day, now they perform in Adventureland and animated shorts play on a large screen instead .
